WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – White House executive chef, Filipino-American Cristeta Comerford, has revealed what she would cook for President Hillary Clinton’s first meal when she moves (back) to the presidential residence. That is, of course, assuming the Clintons will continue to retain her services.
It would be pancit, that signature noodle dish closely identified with the Philippines.
When asked by The Adobo Chronicles why she chose pancit, Comerford said that pancit represents long life and a ‘long term,’ meaning she was hoping Hillary would be elected to a second four-year term like her predecessor and current boss, President Barack Obama.

We were hoping she’d say “chicken or pork adobo” but we agree with her rationale for choosing pancit.
Given Rodrigo Duterte’s vendetta and vitriol towards the United States, I think Filipino food would not be a wise choice. Perhaps some other dish more diplomatically sensible and not bitter to the palate.
